NORMANSVILLE.
During the past week since the days have been so warm, the streets leading to the creek and especially Baxter avenue have been lined with a continual line of both young and older ones going bathing, some staying on the beach until the cooler hours of the evening. 

WEST TOWNSHIP. 

Orville Finch had the misfortune to lose a horse from the heat last week. 

VILLAGE NOTES. 

— The Altamont baseball team will go to Coeymans tomorrow for a game with the team representing that place in the Albany County league. We will not venture an opinion as to whether it will be a good game. The brand of baseball Altamont has been playing of late has not been up to the average, and will remain below the average just so long as the home boys lack interest and refuse to practice. Time and again two or three of the more faithful ones have gone to the fair grounds for practice, but no one else showed up. You cannot expect outside players to remain interested in our games if the home players lack interest. 

— Some good work is being done on our streets this week by S. C. Crounse, street commissioner. Crushed stone about six inches deep has been placed on Lark and Grand streets. Western avenue and Lincoln avenue will also be improved by having the center of the roadway covered with a generous amount of crushed stone. The crosswalks will also come in for a share of the improvements.
